It's a bike used for downhill racing and stuff.  There are no pedals so you just coast down a hill to gain speed. (At least that's what I found out when I googled it)

"Coasting" make it sound so pedestrian. The hills that my friends and I race are wicked awesome, and we average between 50-60 mph top speeds. It's very much like riding motorcycles, and some of us have been issued speeding tickets.

Dude, you're crazy! I got that speed on a mountain bike, and ended up in A&E because I couldn't move either of my arms when I flipped over the bars.

I finished up the frame and I've got some tires under it now.
Just a few more things, and I'll be ready to collect another speeding ticket for my wall!

SIDE NOTE:
I managed to decimate both of my computers yesterday (complete hard drive failure) so I will be online pretty infrequently for a few weeks while I build up my new rig.

I once went down a hill on a skate board at 50 mph, my lack of skin on my knees and arms proves it.

I longboard and did this as well.  Don't know the speeds I have reached but Mt. Lemmon here in Tucson has some steep ass hills that build a lot of speed.  Fun fun times.

Honestly do you live in a nuclear reactor? I swear you have more catastrophic failures than anyone I've ever heard of!

I sometimes wish I still lived in Tucson. Would love to take my gravity bike down "A" Mountain... one way roads are bad-ass.

PC's hate me.  They've always crashed when I touched them.  I switched to Mac a few years ago and haven't had any problems since.  Got a macbook pro, my wife a macbook air, and a mac mini for the office all at once and they all still run like new.  That was like 2010.

Tis a sad day in the empire.

Not giving up on the keyboard, I'm just a little preoccupied with other shit right now.
I hope to wrap up that project in the near future.

I'm in Stockton (re. Hell) right now, but I'll get right on it as soon as I get home.
